I've had a largely outstanding experience at Belmont Village - professional, compassionate staff who know residents' names, a spotless modern facility with boutique-hotel feel and great amenities (heated pool, theater, salon), delicious dining, and strong memory-care and activity programs. My care and meds are handled reliably and I feel safe and welcomed, though communication with family has been inconsistent at times and there have been occasional customer-service or housekeeping hiccups and high pricing. Overall I recommend it for quality, caring staff and an active, beautiful community.
